Fix login persistence with AUTH_SEND_JWT_HEADER enabled

With AUTH_SEND_JWT_HEADER=true, frontend now properly handles JWT authentication:
- Store JWT token in client-side cookie named 'JWT'
- Extract and store XSRF token from JWT payload
- Set Secure flag automatically when on HTTPS connection
- Update documentation to clarify this behavior

This fixes an issue where login state would be lost after page reload
when using header-based JWT authentication.
